Since the price of Bitcoin has come down a lot now, it has become foolish for me to buy the phone with Bitcoin.  Because for that I have to spend more bitcoin.
I'm not willing to exchange bitcoins only for iphone 13 pro max especially when the price of bitcoin has dropped because the value of payments in bitcoin makes it possible to get 2x iphone 13 pro max in the future, that's why he wants bitcoins from your wallet.

I went to buy a phone with my friend today. Going there, Iphone 13 pro max became my favorite phone.  And arouses interest in buying. But I did not have enough money to buy that phone in my pocket. I laugh and talk about Bitcoin to the owner of that showroom. I was surprised to that the owner of that showroom want to sell his phone to me  for Bitcoin. And I asked him again, "Are you kidding me?"then He immediately gave me a bitcoin wallet to pay him. I paid him bitcoin and bought the Iphone 13 pro max.

Is this practice legal for store owner?  Grin I mean How will he pay  taxes and other financial operations? or maybe  its legal in your country to make payments via cryptocurreny?

The owner of the showroom got a bargain. Though BTC is illegal in the country, people knows BTC.
With BTC all over the news and on every talks when it comes to money, I'm not gonna be surprise that even a taxi driver is interested to het a hold of some BTC.

The owner of the showroom values BTC and took the chance of a life time. Seem untraceable BTC actually getting it from someone without straight relationship and no reciept probably?

It's really an exciting and promising experience to purchase something that we want using our Bitcoins. I have also experienced purchasing a good cellphone unit in our local online shop that accepts cryptocurrency. I guess it would be better if there would be more establishments and businesses that would accept crypto because it will beneficial to us. I believe that it could possibly happen in the future.

Well! that's really a good experience when you really want that phone so much and you don't have enough money to purchase it but surprisingly the seller agreed for the iPhone to be bought with bitcoins. That's an interesting fact though iPhone is super expensive nowadays at least for me, its price will slowly go down when a new version will come. the bitcoins you paid to him will gradually increase its price when iPhone 14 pro max is released in the market. But don't worry about it, since your buying it for yourself, it will never be wasted.
I find it useless to earn and save more bitcoin if we always think for the future. Sometimes, its also best to buy yourself a reward that will satisfy you like what OP did. And to think that he's buying it for work purposes, i guess it will add more benefits on his part. Sad to say, some of us here cannot appreciate what OP did. He is just sharing his own experience that will testify that bitcoin nowadays is already very known and popular, so one cannot find a hard time to use it as a payment, unless if bitcoin is banned in your own country.

at least you have your favourite phone now because of bitcoin and at the same time you make the owner happy as well because he's now owning a bitcoin at the very dip level wherein for sure he will become profitable soon because of you..  Cheesy  by the way i wouldn't be surprised why the owner has bitcoin wallet since bitcoin it's very common now, infact even drivers nowadays were accepting bitcoin so how much more that store wherein selling gadgets. Cheesy

I have not yet experienced paying my fare with bitcoin, i guess its not that usable here. You still have to convert your bitcoin into fiat so you can use it as a payment. However, i'm glad to hear OP that you have used your bitcoin at your own advantage and pay directly to the owner. Its a good feeling that you have finally enjoy your hard earned bitcoin through buying your dream phone.  I must say you're not being dumb when you use your bitcoin to buy it, even if you use it just for fashion or whatever, you have all the rights to spend your bitcoin. Your money, your bitcoin, your choice how to spend it.

I don't take loans, ask for sig if I ever do.
Lol, My target was not to buy i phone 13 pro max. It was my dream to buy it. I went to buy another company's phone like Oneplus.  But after going to the showroom. I became interested in buying an iPhone 13. And when the shopkeeper decided to accept Bitcoin, I bought it easily.
Well, I guess you were pretty lucky since the store was willing to accept Bitcoin, congrats! Honestly, even if you consider the future price of Bitcoin when you bought, it stands that it's still in the "future", while what you're going to use for your phone is in the present, so I'd reckon it's a good purchase nonetheless. Plus if you're hodling a pretty sizeable amount and you're holding for the long term, I reckon spending a bit wouldn't hurt you that much. It'd be kind of dumb to use Bitcoin to pay if that was everything you have invested though, hope OP didn't do such a thing.

If we consider the speculative value of bitcoin, then we would never spend it, as it has the potential to increase in price from any point. But it as great utility as a currency for exchange of value and if no one spends it, then its value cannot grow.

because if we buy a cup of coffee using bitcoin it looks like we are showing off too much bitcoins that we have, and can make it easier for others to track our bitcoins..
IMO, large purchases are more likely to attract more attention than a coffee purchase, and by not reusing addresses you could avoid being tracked. Fiat seems more attractive for a regular user however.

You can buy many of Iphone 13 pro max by selling 1 Bitcoin because it is expensive and its worth is equal to 20+ iphone 13 pro max and it is digital way to buy iphone 13 pro max using BTC as a payment asset.
Well, if you're a businessman and you own bitcoin then that's normal for you to buy in bulk. But as an individual who just wants to have one piece of it, there's no sense of spending that much and purchasing it with that a lot.

And on OP's situation, he got that the owner of that store is likely a bitcoin holder and investor. In short, the timing and fate is with OP and whatever is the deal, he's happy with it and satisfied.

I understand the slight regret of OP since the price isn't good but bitcoin is going to be used in this type of situation. If you really like where to spend it, there's no regret for it.

That is good information, i was discussing people too, in my environment and youths specifically that bitcoin will be use to buy everything but one of them Solomon particularly disagreed with me that bitcoin can only be use to buy coins like bitcoin i laughed at him, all my thoughts is that he lacks the wisdom of bitcoin. Now op has testified buying iphone 13 with bitcoin, it is the forum i saw some one explained how he raised building with bitcoin, Bitcoin can buy anything if you have available Bitcoin that worth the values of what you want, because this world has indirectly turned to digital currency.

i have friends in their country that bitcoin is prohibited from being used as a means of payment but they still accept payments with Bitcoin, i asked if "someone would be penalized if caught using Bitcoin as a means of payment, he said maybe yes but i don't know for sure because so far no problem happened"

actually payments with Bitcoin have a high number of enthusiasts but because of restrictions or regulations from the government, they are afraid to accept it openly.  i've never bought a smartphone with Bitcoin but i'm lucky to live in a country that doesn't have a problem with Bitcoin being used as a payment tool, maybe later i will try to buy a smartphone also with Bitcoin here.

You said you wanted to buy a phone, you wanted to pay in fiat before, the money was not enough, you negotiated with the shop owner if he can accept bitcoin, he said yes, he gave you bitcoin address and you paid with bitcoin. That was what happened. From what you said, you have fiat to buy the phone but not enough, you can decide to convert the remaining fiat to bitcoin and enjoy your iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Whether your decision to buy the phone with your bitcoin is foolish or not will completely depend on how you're going to use the phone. If you're didn't need a new phone to start with and you're just going to use this phone for games and Netflix and such, then we could probably say that it's foolish. On the other hand, if your initial phone was old and slow and that you're going to use the new one for business/work/income-related purposes, then I'd say it's probably justified.
I have been using my previous phone for two years.  My primary phone is now obsolete and slow. Which is why I was forced to buy a new phone. And this happened to me when I went to buy that phone. I don't like playing games.  So I will definitely do business work with my phone and do my other necessary work. even now i am sharing my experience here using that new phone  Smiley

@smartaction, congratulations on buying your new smartphone and first purchase directly for Bitcoin. I also paid for my smartphone with BTC, with the difference that I made it online. I want to ask you if this is a brand new phone and if you got a bill and a warranty? I'm asking you this because you only paid about $1120 for that model, which is a lot of money, but in my country (128 GB of storage) is costs more than 0.04 BTC.

What I just want to advise you is that it is not very smart to keep such a large amount in your mobile crypto wallet, but it is again a matter of choice for each individual.

a very extraordinary achievement because you have bought an iphone with bitcoin, I am proud if someone buys electronic goods with bitcoin, but I have less respect if someone buys a cup of coffee and pays with bitcoin, because if we buy a cup of coffee using bitcoin it looks like we are showing off too much bitcoins that we have, and can make it easier for others to track our bitcoins..
Wow congratulations mate , finally you made a first purchase and yes an great gadget that i wanted to have though my Budget is still now enough now.

Maybe if Bitcoin reached 100k then i will buy similar as yours.

But wait, your country treat bitcoin as Illegal currency? but how would the seller accept bitcoin?

This is one best experience to buy an Iphone using bitcoin because this is something we all wanted to do (as bitcoin supporter)

but what I am asking is why now? when month ago Bitcoin is double in price as now? if you purchase that Iphone in november last year? surely you are only paying almost a half of what you paid now.

and also Why going to a shop when you have not enough Money to purchase a phone? and also to my surprise , iphone 13 ? lol the most expensive phone now is what you targeting ?

Well it is your story and I'm going to believe  Grin
